Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease in cloven-hoofed animals, and had been broken out worldwide several times in recent years. In order to extinct outbreak of FMD, a large number of infected animals are slaughtered in some countries, and the slaughterings had been caused a series of environmental pollutions seriously. To reduce this kind of pollution, vaccination is an effective measure to protect animals against FMD, however, FMD virus (FMDV) escaping from manufacturing plant and inactivated incompletely during vaccine production could cause an outbreak of FMD. Therefore, inactivated FMDV vaccines are not safe to animals and environment. FMDV empty capsid (lacking nucleic acid) can elicit the same antibody response as infectious FMDV, thus, empty capsid virus particle vaccine of FMDV would be the most promising candidate vaccine for its safety and protection against FMDV. In this report, we studied the empty capsid virus particle vaccine of FMDV to control FMD and its potential benefits to the environment.
